Would those nude celebrity photos have been hacked if they were all using S5 instead of 5s?

- The hacks were NOT based off the phone, but the service of which the files were stored on. The ONLY reason the phone is a factor is because it's an Apple exclusive service. The photos were "hacked" via the service by brute force attack which has zero to do with the device.
It's based on the security of the service.
That being said, Apple, Android, Windows, Blackberry, or other, as long as the cloud service is not properly protected this could happen (Again).09-03-2014 12:15 PMLike 0 - Regardless, I gotta think that if their photos were stored on a cloud service with 2-step login verification, this probably wouldn't have happened. But I really wouldn't expect too many celebrities to know about 2 step verification.09-03-2014 04:56 PMLike 0

On a side note, I find it funny that 1 male celeb's pictures were also leaked, but you don't hear his name being tossed around. "99 women and 1 guy or something had their accounts hacked. Here's what the 99 women and I guess the 1 guy have to save about it"09-04-2014 12:30 PMLike 0 - anon(6142785) likes this.09-04-2014 05:42 PMLike 1

- Hey everyone why not just stop taking nude pictures?

That being said, Apple, Android, Windows, Blackberry, or other, as long as the cloud service is not properly protected this could happen (Again).It's not simply because their celebs (most being C and D-list), it's that it was SO many. Just like with many other crimes. One car is stolen, one store is robbed, who cares. But 70+ are stolen and robbed, the feds appear.

Apple's denying all responsibility, but any system that allows an unlimited number of invalid login attempts without locking the account is flawed, and that's Apple's fault.
Android phones have the ability to do that (Google +), but it's not enabled by default.Rev2010 likes this.09-05-2014 06:44 PMLike 1
